Our Vision

Our vision is of a school community in which all members contribute to individual, family, and community lifelong learning.

There is a focus on the whole child by all members of the community who work collaboratively to ensure success for each individual.

Honesty, ethical behavior, and integrity will be modeled throughout the school community. All members of the community will understand and appreciate diversity in society. These values will serve as a foundation from which students can develop into lifelong contributing adults in the family, community, workplace, and society.

The District will ensure adequate resources are provided for all services necessary to promote success for each student. Decision-making will be based on a commitment to children, who shall always remain the District’s first priority.

Students will master skills that meet or exceed grade level standards. They will develop the ability to work well with others, and the ingenuity to solve problems. Self-confident students will maintain a positive attitude while pursuing their goals.

A well-supported, well-trained group of professional educators are committed to children and to their profession.
